The 11th Guards Mechanized Brigade is a unit of the Armed Forces of Belarus based in Slonim.

The 11th Guards Brigade traces its history back to the 1942 formation of the 6th Tank Corps of the Soviet Army during World War II.

Formed in the Kalinin area on 19 April 1942, the 6th Tank Corps was under the command of Major General A. L. Getman and subordinated to the Western Front until March 1943, at which time the corps was subordinated to the 1st Tank Army, remaining under the command of this formation until 1992.

[4] The 11th Guards Tank Corps was in combat near Kharkov in 1943, the offensive to drive the Germans from Belorussia in 1944 (Operation Bagration), and the offensive across central Poland in January 1945.

On 19 February 1962, the 61st Separate Equipment Maintenance and Recovery Battalion was activated.

[9][10] The 11th Guards Tank Division remained in the German Democratic Republic until 1992,[11] when, with the end of the Cold War, the division was relocated to Slonim and became part of the Armed Forces of Belarus.

[12] On 11 August 1992, the division was reorganized and renamed the 11th Guards Mechanized Brigade.
